Which is the Best Type of Massage?

Massage is one of the simplest, yet most confusing pleasures. With hundreds of options to choose from, it is hard to determine the type of massage that best suits your needs. Here is a guide to help you choose the best massage for you based on your needs:
Overall Health & Rejuvenation
Though all types of massage will make you feel better, there are specific massages that will greatly boost your energy levels.
Shiatsu Massage
Getting a shiatsu massage will aid in calming your sympathetic nerves, stimulate circulation, lower stress levels, and relieve pain. The massage therapist will use gentle stretches and finger pressure on your pressure points to fix any imbalances in your body’s energy flow.
If you want a form of massage where you won’t have to undress and still get maximum benefits, go for a shiatsu massage. You will experience immediate relief from headache, back pain or low energy levels once you get massaged.
Sports Massage
If you are physically active, this type of massage will be a perfect fit for you. The therapist will combine Swedish and shiatsu, among other massage techniques on the specific areas. Sports massage helps in preventing injuries, help in recovering from injuries, and enhance your performance.
Pregnancy Massage
As the name suggests, this is a massage specifically tailored for expectant mothers. The massage will help in getting rid of pregnancy-related aches and enhance the growth of the unborn child. Before booking your pregnancy massage, it is important to get the consent of your doctor.
Treatment of Pains & Other conditions
Do you feel stressed and you need something to make you relax? Or maybe you are struggling with knotted muscles, among other specific ailments? Getting a professional massage will be the perfect solution.
Deep Tissue Massage
With this type of massage, the therapist will use his knuckles and elbow to apply pressure on your deep muscles and bones. The pressure in this form of massage is best for athletes or people whose tissues are very dense.
It is important to remember that this is not a form of massage where you’ll feel good and sleep off. The pressure during the massage is intense and will make you feel sore for the next few days before you begin reaping the benefits.
You have a right to speak up if the pressure becomes too much.
Trigger Point Massage
The massage will be focused on specific parts of your body and not your entire body. The massage therapist will work on the problematic muscles using deep pressure and as a result, you’ll get rid of the pains in your body.
Massage to Help You Relax and Relieve Stress
When you feel tired and stressed, you need something that will soothe you, just like wrapping you in a warm embrace.
Swedish Massage
In this type of massage, the massage therapist will use long, sweeping strokes, kneading & rolling movement, friction, and rhythmic tapping. The massage therapist knows the perfect move he will apply on each part of your body to give you maximum benefits from the massage.
Swedish Massage
The massage specialist will use hot, smooth stones during this type of massage. You will feel as though very smooth hands are caressing you and at the same time scorching you. The heat will help in relieving any tension on your back or shoulders.
When going to the spa, you have a right to choose the perfect type of massage depending on how you feel. If you are not sure about the perfect type of massage for you, the therapist will help you in making the right choice.
